The 27-year-old admits he had no doubts that Rodgers would still be in the Anfield dugout at the start of next season despite a poor campaign in 2014-15.

He said: “I’m delighted that Brendan’s still here.

“In my eyes, there wasn’t really any doubt in him being here for next year, although it was an up and down season. We reached two semi-finals and, at one point, we were closing in on the top four but missed out there as well.

“We had a lot of new players and expectation was always going to be high on the back of such a promising season the previous year when Liverpool almost won the league.

“Brendan is a great coach. He is very good tactically and players are always going to get better working under him.”

“I don’t know what has happened with Colin and Mike because I have only read the reports in the press, but we just have to get on with it.”

Earlier this month, Rodgers kept his job after an end of season review with the owners.

Backroom staff Colin Pascoe and Mike Marsh, however, are no longer at the club after the disappointing season - and Lallana has paid tribute to the duo.

“They were great coaches. I worked well with them this year,” Lallana added.

“It’s the same as a player. A manager might come in and not fancy you and you are the one who is looking to be sold. It happens to coaching staff, too.”
